Dodgers Rout Yankees 18-2 in Record Loss

The Los Angeles Dodgers delivered a historic 18-2 blowout against the New York Yankees on Saturday, marking the Yankees' worst loss ever to a National League opponent and clinching the interleague series for the Dodgers. Los Angeles erupted for 10 runs in the first two innings, with Max Muncy tallying two home runs and seven RBIs and rookie Dalton Rushing hitting his first career homer. Yankees starter Will Warren gave up seven runs in just 1⅓ innings, while Dodgers rookie Landon Knack limited the Yankees to a single run over six innings. Aaron Judge provided both Yankees runs with solo homers, bringing his season total to 21. The Dodgers' commanding win came despite key injuries, including Mookie Betts’ fractured toe and a depleted pitching staff, but they remain atop the NL West. The series has also featured superstar performances, with Judge and Shohei Ohtani making history the previous night as the first reigning MVPs to homer in the first inning of the same game.
